FOUR-IN -HAN D NECKTIE.

Application filed June 3,

This invention relates to fourin-hand neckties and particularly to linings for the fore it isplaced in the necktie; n

Fig. 3 is a partial sectionon the line 3 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 4 is a partial enlargedperspective of the knot-forming end of the lining. The embodiment illustrated comprises a four-in-hand necktie having a cover 5 of silk or the like which is preferably cut on the bias in a well known manner, anda lining having a converging portion 6 which lies withinthe knot-formingportion of the tie, a band portion 7 and a slightly diverging end 8' for the small end of the tie. I I

Various means have been devised for giving the proper shape and body to the knot- 2 forming portion 6 and it is believed that the present invention provides a lining for such a tie which has numerous advantages over those heretofore used.

This lining consists especially of two pieces of flat material 9and 10 as shown in Fig.4

which are preferably of substantially the same contour and which are secured together along their edges by means of lines of stitching 11 and 12. One of these pieces of lining which is substantially non-extensible under an endwise pull. Thls gives a great deal of strength to the tie and supplies a strength" 'p-licant has here done.

of a necktie one of the fabric members 901' 10 is made of is preferably cut from a strong firm material 1927. Serial No. 196,221.

fectly flat and being sewed together as ap:

This tie in actual practice has been found to form a particularly good looking and desirable knot, and particularly free from wrinkles after it has stood sometime after beinguntied. This is particularly true where wool. Even where the other member is'of cotton, which is particularly likely to take and hold a wrinkle, the other being of wool has a tendencyto cause the cotton to return to its original fiat shape.

If desired, the neck band 7 may be sewed between the upper ends of the members 9 and 1.0 and secured thereto as by meansoflines of stitching 13. V

Thus it will be seen that a particularly 'desirable form of necktie has been devised and one which can be manufactured easily and econon'iically.

While I have shown and described but a scope of the invention as disclosed in the appended claims.

I. claim Changes therefore in the con- 1. In a. four-in-hand necktie, a lining having a. knot portion made up of twosubstantially similarly'shaped sections of material stitched together along their. longitudinal side edges only, one of said sections being composed of a nonwrinkling material and the other of a material which is substantially nonyielding on alongitudinal pull.

- 2. A liningfor neckties consisting of two sections of fabric cut to the shape of a portion of a necktie andrstitched togetheralong their longitudinal sideedgesonly, one of said sections being composed of wool material and the other of a material which is substantially non-yielding longitudinally. 1
